Robotaxis

Fast becoming a reality and about to hit the streets, robotaxis rely on a powerful array of advanced sensing technologies that include multiple LiDARs to safely maneuver complex urban environments.

On-Demand People Transportation

The announced arrival of fully-autonomous robotaxis will likely change car ownership and overall transportation dynamic drastically, as people find benefits in lower transportation costs, increased productivity and a more environmentally means of transportation thanks to shared mobility.

Operating initially at low speeds in pre-defined areas and roads, robotaxis are likely to hit the streets well before privately-owned autonomous vehicles. Robotaxis enable a powerful new business model: according to RBC, the new space could represent a total addressable market of about $3.8 trillion by 2050.

Mainstream Players Invest in Robotaxis

Some of the largest automotive and technology players are investing massively in the development of robotaxis and new on-demand transportation services with the aim of capturing a significant share of the new market’s added value. For example, Waymo is aiming to launch America’s first commercial robotaxi service, Chinese internet giant Baidu is testing a fleet of autonomous taxis in a pilot zone, while Uber, GM and Ford are developing competing fleets, just to name a few.

“Analysts expect about 14,000 robotaxis on the road in 2020, growing to 2.4 million by 2025 and representing a 187% annual growth rate.” –thestreet.com
